Wired News, February 11, 2003:

Taking an aggressive stance on the issue of the digital divide, the
Kentucky Housing Corporation,
or KHC, has listed broadband Internet access among the inalienable
rights of its low-income housing residents.

And the Associated Press
reports on a program offering free high-speed Internet access to
residents of a low-income housing project in Boston, February 24,
2003:

[The program] has given residents free computers to connect to the
Internet using high-speed cable lines wired into every home....

Residents can buy wireless cards for their desktops or laptops. The
cards, which can cost up to $100 retail, will be given away to the
elderly and sold for $60 to others. After that, residents will be able
to log on—for free—from anywhere within Camfield [Estates].
